How to fix 4 bars per system

Hello. I’m a Dorico Pro 5 user. I’d like to create 16 empty bars and fix them to 4 bars per system. Can I select 16 bars and then divide them into 4-bar increments? Thank you.

The easiest way is to go to Layout Options > Staves and Systems > Casting Off and set the first option to 4.

The method you mentioned applies to the entire system. I wanted to set specific sections to 4 bars each. Thank you.

System breaks are your friend! :smiling_face:

This method is currently in use. I think it would be helpful to have a feature that allows you to select a specific area as a block and then set the desired bar for each system in one go through the Edit menu. For example, as in the question, it would be great to add a feature that allows you to select a 16-bar block and then set it to 4 bars for each system. Thank you.
